TERESA Heinz Kerry didn't exactly knock 'em dead with her keynote address at last Thursday's New York State Democratic Jefferson-Jackson dinner, Post City Hall bureau man Stefan C. Friedman reports. Most high-ranking officials had already taken off before Sen. John Kerry's wife began her speech nearly an hour late, and those who remained were treated to an often-rambling missive delivered just above a whisper.

If Heinz is Katchup then Kerry is Grey Poop-on.
Did you see the picture of Kerry on Page 6 in the Post article? That man looks so sissified that I can't believe he managed to have children. No wonder he has to keep having his picture taken when he's loaded down with sports stuff so he'll look masculine.
Must be a Rocky and Bullwinkle fan.
I wonder if she muffed it on purpose (maybe subconsciously) - so she won't have to do it again. Many a husband has pretended to do a bad job with diapering babies for the same reason.
Ewwwwww. What an insult to her late husband!
Sh'e still going to have to divulge the tax returns..
Hah - I once worked with a guy who told me that when he got married, his wife informed him that he was going to be chief dishwasher. He promptly broke one of her Royal Doulton dinner plates. She washed the dishes from then on.
Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry was born in Mozambique, the daughter of a Portuguese physician, and was educated in Switzerland and South Africa. Fluent in five languages, she was working as a United Nations interpreter in Geneva in the mid-60's when she met a handsome young American, H. John Heinz, III, who worked at a bank in Geneva. He told her his family was "in the food business."
They were married in 1966 and returned to Pittsburgh where his family ran the giant H.J. Heinz food company. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1971, and in 1976 he was elected to the first of three terms in the United States Senate.
Senator H. John Heinz was a friend of mine - not a close friend, not a golfing buddy, but a friend nonetheless. The last time I saw him alive was, oddly enough, in the men's restroom at the Maverick Steakhouse, a favorite nighttime eatery and watering hole for politicians and lobbyists in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The senator was standing at a wash basin, drying his hands, when I entered the room. When he turned and saw me he rushed toward me, threw his arms around me, and said, "Paul, it's good to see you!" All I could do was mumble, "Senator, do you really think we should be seen hugging each other in a men's restroom?" He didn't think so, and neither did I, but we shared a good laugh over his impromptu display of affection.
Several years later, in 1991, he was killed when his plane collided with a Sun Oil Company helicopter over a Philadelphia suburb - the same helicopter that I often used to travel between Philadelphia and Washington, DC. The senator, his pilot and co-pilot, and both of Sun's helicopter pilots were killed. He was survived by his wife, Teresa, and their three young sons.
Four years later, after inheriting Heinz's $500 million fortune, she married Senator John Forbes Kerry, the liberal junior senator from Massachusetts. She became a registered Democrat and the process of her radicalization was set in motion.
Heinz Kerry is not shy about telling people that she required Kerry to sign a pre-nuptial agreement before they were married. John Kerry may not have check-writing privileges on the Heinz catsup and pickle fortune, but he is certainly a willing and uncomplaining beneficiary of it. A lot of hard-earned money, made through many years of hawking catsup, pickles, and soup, has fallen into the hands of two people who despise successful entrepreneurship and who believe in the confiscatory redistribution of wealth.
So how does Mrs. Heinz Kerry spend John Heinz's money? Just one example: According to the G2 Bulletin, an online intelligence newsletter of WorldNetDaily, in the years between 1995-2001 she gave more than $4 million to an organization called the Tides Foundation. And what does the Tides Foundation do with John Heinz's money? They support numerous anti-war groups, including Ramsey Clark's International Action Center. Clark has offered to defend Saddam Hussein when he's tried. They support the Democratic Justice Fund, a joint venture of the Tides Foundation and billionaire hate-monger George Soros. The Democratic Justice Fund seeks to ease restrictions on Muslim immigration from "terrorist" states. They support the Council for American-Islamic Relations, whose leaders are known to have close ties to the terrorist group, Hamas.
They support the National Lawyers Guild, organized as a communist front during the Cold War era. One of their attorneys, Lynne Stewart, has been arrested for helping a client, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, communicate with terror cells in Egypt. He is the convicted mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
They support Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Rights Action League, and the Abortion Action Project.
They support the most violent of all homosexual action groups, ACT-UP. They support the "Barrio Warriors," a radical Hispanic group whose primary goal is to return all of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas to Mexico.
These are but a few of the radical groups that benefit, through the anonymity provided by the Tides Foundation, from the generosity of our would-be first lady - the wealthy widow of Republican senator John Heinz, and now the wife of the Democratic senator who aspires to be the 44th President of the United States.
If voters will only try to imagine a woman such as Teresa Heinz Kerry, the fairy godmother of the radical left, laying her head on a pillow each night just inches from the President of the United States, hopefully they will decide that the only way these two will ever be allowed into the White House is with an engraved invitation in hand.
As I recall that somewhat embarrassing chance meeting in the men's restroom at the Maverick Steakhouse in Harrisburg, instead of mumbling some inane nonsense about getting caught in a friendly embrace, I wish now that I'd had the good sense to whisper in his ear, "John! Go home! Get a lawyer! Change your will!"
But, of course, we didn't know her then, did we?
bump
Anybody know what year she became a US citizen?
Does arrogant...describe this woman?? I cannot even look at her much listen to the diatribe that comes out of her mouth. She married a wealthy hard working Republican, who supported the party bigtime, and then she has the gall to define Heinz as "probably would vote for Kerry?????" Outrageous!! When he died in an accident, she inherited all his money...arrogant?? I guess so!!!!!!! Kerry chased after her and married her because she was RICH. Why do you think she didn't drop the Heinz name???????
I hope(Like Crazy)that Mr.Kerry hangs on every word of ADVICE uttered by his wife!In the very recent past,I recollect that EVERY time a certain guy from Hot Springs took political guidance from his"wife?",he BOMBED(In the words of Dick Cheney)"BIG-TIME"!!!!
Good question to pose above the pic of those two shallow icks in post #43. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....she looks completely repulsed by his gross slop on her cheek. And he looks as wrinkled as an old prune (must have been time for another botox injection....OH DOUBLE ICK...can you imagine President Bush going in for botox treatments? LOL Is the left a sick bunch, or what?)
These two are caricatures of THEMSELVES!
And since this silly woman of zero core forced kerry to sign a pre-nup, SHE MUST NOT TRUST HIM, either! LOL
Every time I have seen her speak on cable news sound-bytes, she strikes me as being severely depressed or over-medicated. I'm not saying this out of meaness. She appears to be "not ok".
Kerry's first rich wife was also depressed. After she got rid of him, she wrote a book on depression. (I'm not kidding.)
John Heinz was a classy guy, much-loved in Pennsylvania. He easily won re-election. It's a disgrace that his money is being used this way.
"Never trust a female millionaire who buys a $20 Million jet and names it "The Flying Squirrel". There has to be a screw lose somewhere."
34 Million when the add on's are included.
This doesn't surprise me at all.
If I were dumb enough to marry Kerry, I would be depressed too.
It should have been named the Flying Lemur since she is from Africa.
